Cincinnati acquire Sergio Santos from Philadelphia - Has "game changing powers"
FC Cincinnati have acquired forward Sergio Santos from Major League Soccer rivals Philadelphia Union. The Union will receive $300,000 in 2022 General Allocation Money (GAM) to Philadelphia, with an additional $625,000 in conditional GAM if certain performance-based metrics or contract conditions are met. Philadelphia will also receive a percentage of any future MLS trade.
"Sergio is a player with game-changing pace and power," FC Cincinnati general manager Chris Albright said in a club statement. "He's a hardworking, versatile striker that can complement our current group. His character and familiarity with how we want to play makes him an ideal addition at this time and I'd like to welcome Sergio to Cincinnati."
Santos originally joined the Union in 2019 for $500,000 from the Chilean club Audax Italiano. In his three and a half seasons with the Philadelphia Union, Santos managed 22 goals and 13 assists in 89 games across all competitions.
